I actually really enjoyed this project. I knew I wanted to continue with the theme that I’ve been working on for most of the semester and decided to do it for Attract Mode. I started off by searching for pictures that would display the kind of arcade atmosphere I was after. After that I had to find the perfect background. I’m also really fond of the fonts I used. They really evoke an old school feel. The toughest part was clipping the arcade cabinet in the bottom left corner.

Message:

I was trying to get across that no matter who you are or what kind of arcade experience you’re seeking, you could find it at Attract Mode.

Audience:

Arcade fans young and old. Seasoned vets and newcomers alike.

Top Thing Learned:

How to effectively clip an image. Tough stuff.

Color scheme and color names:

There are way too many colors going on here to nail it down to just a single color scheme.

This is a webpage I designed to showcase a logo I designed for Attract Mode Arcades.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):

This was all done through HTML and CSS. It took quite a lot of doing and was pretty confusing at first. A stray ” left most of my text a giant link and I could not figure out why for the longest time. I guess like any new language or skill, the longer you use it the more proficient you become. I altered the sample HTML from the bee one provided and made it fit with my design.

Message:

I wanted to display the logo I made and a website is the perfect way to do that. This is aimed at anyone who enjoys going to and spending time in arcades.

Audience:

Anyone who enjoys going to or spending time in arcades.

Top Thing Learned:

How one little mistake or misplaced line of code can ruin the rest of your HTML and completely throw things off. You need to code very carefully.
